    gottcha, same as us.

    Also you'll do much better selling your truck on craigslist or something.

    but don't sell it!

    I'd take your sweet looking taco over a challenger any day! Plus I think a challenger is more of a muscle car than a sports car :p.

    Bikes are faster; sports cars are easier to live with.


    When I'm too old to ride, I'll be getting a sports or muscle car.


    Fast is good. :cool:

    Those new challengers are awesome. My dad had a 197? when I was young, it would leave black stripes as long as you held your foot down lol.

    I went to NM tech, graduated 12 years ago when you were still allowed to drink and fornicate on campus.

    Is there any good wheeling down in Suckorro? I would be willing to drive down there and wheel for the day.

    dood i could never sell my truck.... but if i could have any car (still not getting rid of the truck tho...lol) for my needs it would be hard to beat an Audi allroad TDI stationwagon..... or a VW TDI if they made em AWD. fast, good mileage, great in the snow...blah,blah,blah. prloblem is the cost in general, and they are just brutal in maintenance costs... stupid fancy euro car prices. Toyota should make an AWD Diesel stationwagon...even less likely then getting a hilux... but yeah.

    My little sis has an Audi Allroad w/ the twin-turbo V6; she loves it. They have 2 kids & live outside of Seattle; she says in the mud she just jacks up the ride height all the way & goes right through it. It wasn't cheap, though, nor cheap to maintain, as you've noted. I've considered buying it from them when they're ready to sell; they're pretty quick.

    yes, very sandy. and pretty much all the 2 track I found was whooped out bad. Like I said I want to go further back on the bike some time, I feel better taking it over hard core stuff since I was alone. Apparently theres some stuff back there that you pretty much need a buggy to go through.

    My truck is paid off and I will never sell it.... Just finance another car.... You won't get what you are looking for.... to many mods unless you take it to stock again then you could consider trading it in for a good price. If I remember correctly though you cut your bed to fit that bumper on there... so yeah I would just finance another car...

    Wow, Colin, that looks awesome!

    I'm considering coming down for the meet on the 22nd, but am not sure yet. I may try to talk Dead Heretic into coming, too; maybe just take his (much better) truck down & split the gas. My truck is not lifted; I don't know how it would do down there.

    The third picture is cool. The effect makes it look like a miniature model or something.

    Where is the meet?
